SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 392.219. dated November. 6, 1888. Anplicatipn filed February 15. 1888. Serial No. "164,068. (No model.)

To all whom. it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN L. ODELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Delta, in

the county of-Fnlton and state ef Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Oil-Burnersfor Heating Purposes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in crude-oil burners; and it consists in the pcr to culiar construction and combination of devices that will be more particularly setforth here-' inafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In thcaccompanying drawings, Figure l'is I 5 a vertical central sectional view of a crude-oil burner embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a top plan view, partly in section.

A represents the base of theburner, which is circular in form, is provided at its perimeter ggjjith an on twardlyjarcd flange,nB,hasanen-.

F represents a hollow cone which is truncated on its upper end, and is provided with :udepending central sleeve, G, the lower end of which is fitted within the flange D and bears 0 upon the shoulder E.

The base of the cone F is supported on the baseplate A.

I represents asericsof cars which are formed integrally with and project radially from the outer side of the cone, at the upper end thereof,

said ears being arranged equidistant apart.

V L represents a smaller truncated cone, which is hollow, as shown, has its base supported on the ears Iof cone F, and thereby raised above the top of said cone F, and said cone L is pro- 0 vided with a'depcnding central hollow cylindrical sleeve, M, which is less in length than the depth of said cone L. Said cone L is further provided on its outer side, at its upper end, with a'series of radial ears, N, which are 5 equidistant apart.

0 represents a fountain or nozrile which is provided with an annular concavo-convex pe-.

rimeter or lip, P. The said fountain or nozzle is supported on the ears N, as shown, and

0 is arranged at a suitable distance above the center of the cone L.

R represents an oil-inlet pipe which communicates with asuitable reservoir (not shown) through the .center of the opening 0 and up the cones. The upper end of this pipe is thereby adapted to supply' the said fountain with oil. p

S represents a conical cover which is truncated, as shown, is hollow, and has 1ts upper side closed and its lower side open, and is proport said conical cover on said base-plate, the said cover enveloping and concealing the cones and the fountain from sight. Open spaces U are formed at the lower edge of the conical cover between the feet T.

The operation of my invention is as follows: initial heat is'applied to-the burneruntil the same is thoroughly heated, and the crude 011 pipe It into the fountain. As the .oil rises in the fountain it overflows the same and descends in thin sheets from the lip P ontothe heated surface of the upper cone, L, where it' is converted into vapor, and that portion of the oil which is not converted into vapor on the cone L drops upon theheatedcone F, which completes the vaporizing process. Air is adm tted freely through the opening Q, the hollow sleeves in the cones, andthrough the spaces between the said cones-and between the upper cone and the fountain to the vaporunder the,c0ver S, and said air becomes commingled with the vapor, so as to render the latter combustible. The commingled air and vapor escape through the openings U at the base of the cover S, and

and simple, is very durable, and is adapted to be used successfully for generating steam and for otherpurposes. 7

Having .thus described my invention, ll claim- 1.. The combination of the base having vided with a series of depending feet,T,which rest upon the base-plate A, and thereby-supfromv the reservoir is admitted through the oil burner thus constructed is extremely cheap through the centers of the sleeves G and M of screwed to and communicates udththe center of the base of the fountaitnand said pipe is I on being ignitedburn very freely and create e nae-aq amagl i, M r

central opening, the series of separate cones supported one above the other concentric with the opening in the base, a fountain or nozzle at the upper end of the series of cones and having a depending annular concavo-convex lip, a supply-pipe leading upward through the base and the series of cones and communicating with the fountain or nozzle, and a cap restingon the base and covering the cones and the nozzle, the said cap having open spaces in its lower edge, as set forth.

2. The combination ofthe baseplate having the flanges B D and central opening, G, the cone F, arranged on the base-plate and having the depending central sleeve, G, the lower end said fountain or nozzle and the cone, substantially as described.

In testimony that Iclaim the foregoing as my ownI have hereto aifixed my signature in pres ence of two witnesses.

JOHN L. ODELL.
